I brought a new HI-MD minidisc Sony MZ-NH600. It's european model and it has line-in optical/analog, but it' has "only" 3mW@16ohms as output headphone power (5mW USA model).
Nevertheless... I like the sound, It drive very well my Seen PX and MX series, and also my Senn HD497. It have very loud sound at half volume (16-17 of 30).
I noticied than it drive surprisely well the Senn MX450. I allways prefer the MX400/500 sound over the MX450/550, but the sound of the minidisc in HI-SP (256 Kbps) it's very bass rich and it's a little boomby in MX500. It's very refined and detailed the MZ-NH600 sound with the MX450. This headphones also has a better fit.
But the best sound it's with my PX100, very bass detailed and good mids and highs, with the 6 bands EQ customizable.
Yes. the 6 bands EQ it's awesome. I can config it for each music or each headphones. I thins than the EQ Parametric of last Sony PCDPs it's not as good.
I wondered as good it's a 3mW headphone power. Anothers PCDPs with more power does not sound so well for me and does not drive so well my Senn headpones. And my flash MP3 player Creative MuVo V200 has 5-7mW and his sound it's very inferior.
I put 2-3 CDs in a MDW-80 (now formated at 300MB) standard disc. 8-9 CDs in a new 1GB disc. The removible feature it's awesome and I think it's not expensive memory it you compare it with SD, Compact Flash memories and so on. I use the standar disc in order to store little monograophics of the same artis (For example 3 last CDs of Wilco). And I use de !GB ones in order to store several CDs (8-9) of different artists.
I use allways HI-SP format because I prefer quality to quantity, but if the disc
is old, I can use HI-LP (64Kbps). HI-LP is surprisely good for bitrate, similiar as 128Kbps MP3 and for disc without much sound producion or a great sound I ground to use it (Example: Beach Boys, Zombies, early Beatles and so on).
The battery life it's incredible. I put 1 AA battery 2300mhA and I recorded, played, used menu and EQ for a week and only half of the charge has been consumed. I my Creative MuVo V200 MP3 flash player I has only 12 hours of battery.
The HI-MD it's a recorder. It records its own discs. It record from a computer with USB port (as the MP3 players). But it can record without a computer from any source for its analog or optical line-in. The SP (292 Kbps) or PCM sound (no compression) recorded in a HI-MD it's the very best portable sound than nobody can have.
Overall, I'm happy with my HI-MD Minidisc MZ-NH600 for only 99 €. It was already hour of lower prices in this players, with some disvantages over the news MP3 players, but also with MANY ADVANTAGES for audiophiles.
Thanks and I wait for your expert comments.
